Blindcrake Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting Held on January 19Th in Blindcrake Village Hall
Blindcrake Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on January 19th in Blindcrake Village Hall. 1) Apologies for absence were received from: J. Thompson & M. Soppitt 2) Minutes The Chairman was authorised to sign the minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on November 17th as a true record of that meeting. 3) Declaration of any interests members may have in any item on the agenda: None 4) Presentation on Housing Needs in Allerdale. The officer was unable to attend. 5) The Chairman adjourned the meeting to allow parishioners an opportunity to ask questions and raise matters of interest. a) The re-instatement of the ground around the telegraph pole at the Oaks has still to be completed. The Clerk said that he had been in contact and that he had been assured that the work would be done. 6) Maintenance and Matters of Report a) Drainage on the green: A written report was received from John Thompson. He was monitoring the water coming from the tank under the pound. There had been heavy rain over the last few months so it was difficult to assess the success of the new pipe. There was standing water under the trees and the middle of the green was very damp. More soil to raise the level might help. JT b) Seating area at the top of the hill: The transfer has been completed. The seat and the wall would be combined and Joe Marrs would revise his estimate. It was hoped the work would be completed by the end of the financial year.
